I can watch these shows. This ones the hardest to pay attention to sometimes. I love the characters so much, and my son loves these shows so I watch them with him. The one thing besides the humor that bugs me.....cause I can deal with the humor.....is the lack of significant story telling. Its like they think kids cant pay attention to story arcs that last through a season. Plus the identities of Peter Parker and Bruce Banner have no development whatsoever. I know kids love the action and humor and thats what their focus is with these shows, but what I dont like is that kids will grow up not knowing who Peter and Bruce are. Avengers I dont really have any gripes about. Besides having to watch the team start over again so soon after watching EMH. Now THAT....was a great cartoon.

Their have been many animated series aimed at children, that were able to be enjoyed by adult fans as well. Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, JLU, Superman TAS, Spider-man 90's, X-men 90's, Wolverine and The X-men, Spectacular Spider-man, Avengers: EMH, Young Justice, Green Lantern and even Batman: BTB and Beware the Batman (whether you enjoyed it or not). I personally loved all of those cartoons and can still watch and enjoy them to this day. This recent crop of Marvel cartoons is aimed at infants and are terrible representations of the characters. Ultimate Spider-man is not what anyone should want from a Spider-man cartoon and Agents of Smash may be the worst cartoon I have ever seen. The new Avengers cartoon is okay, but a pale reflection of the much superior Avengers: EMH.

Cartoons are an important bridge point for children to get into the world of comics. Many of those cartoons were my first real introductions to the characters and I loved them so much that I wanted more and started reading the comics. The cartoons are obviously not as dark or mature as the comics often are, but they should still reflect the characters and personalities appropriately, so you can still recognize them when you read the comics. Wolverine wasn't hacking people up in the 90's cartoon, but I still recognized the character and heard the voice actor's voice in my head when I read the comics.

There really isn't much weight to the 'target demographic' argument, because there have been plenty of very well written animated shows that were targeted at kids but were also of a high enough quality to be enjoyed by adults. There's no excuse for dumbed-down material for kid's programming.

My problem is Avengers, Hulk and Unltimate Spider-Man are supposed to be in the same cartoon universe but on the Avengers Hulk is a dumb brute while on Agents of SMASH the Hulk is smart. MArvel/Disney needs to get there act together.

On this site It seems Comic book movies need to be geared to mostly adults or else they are kids movies. But then we watch cartoons and hope they are also geared towards adults to? WTF?

This genre was made mostly for kids and teenagers. Yes, sometimes cartoons and films appeal to both kids and adults but you cannot expect that in every TV show or film. Especially cartoons. They mostly care about children watching them and buying action figures.
